Chapter 862: Chapter 842: Cheating?
Luo Qianqian was also taken aback. How come she had never heard of it?
"No one is allowed to go for the kill, or use heavy hands." Diwu Yan said word by word, "Whether you have grudges or rivalry, it all must be set aside for the sake of the country. We’ll protect her."
Such domineering presence...
Luo Qianqian had only one feeling, if she wasn’t the one being protected.
But thinking carefully, she realized she actually didn’t know anything.
After a moment of silence, she glanced at Diwu Yan, then silently lowered her head, deciding it was better to say nothing.
She figured it was better to enjoy this protection.
Gongyang Chou had already furrowed his brows, "Isn’t this just..."
"Unless your Gongyang Family produces someone suitable in age and stronger than her, then I’ll change this rule." Diwu Yan still exuded that domineering aura, not showing the slightest hesitation. Luo Qianqian felt very moved.
"If there was, would it come to this..." Gongyang Chou was fuming. Such an open and honest chance for revenge, yet she was protected. Did this little girl strike it lucky?
Normally, it would be impossible to take open revenge. What if they were discovered...
He feared it would implicate the entire family.
Diwu Yan left with Luo Qianqian to head back to the living area, then took out a small bottle and waved it under Qin Nuan’s nose. Qin Nuan promptly stirred awake.
Though Luo Qianqian was quite a distance away, she felt a cold sensation rise to her heart. What was this? An enhanced version of cooling ointment???
The pungent sharpness... If the temperature here weren’t much higher than in Capital City, Luo Qianqian suspected she would have caught a cold...
"Huh?" Qin Nuan opened her eyes, looking at the surrounding environment with a face full of confusion, "What’s going on?"
Diwu Yan smiled, looking at Luo Qianqian, "Then I’ll take my leave. If you want something to eat, just order something. If anything comes up, I’ll come to find you."
"Umm." Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment, "Is there... a place here where one can absorb nature’s spiritual energy?" She immediately wanted to give herself a slap. Absorb nature’s spiritual energy? Are you the Stone Monkey’s stone?
"Anywhere you like. If you want peace and quiet, head to the tallest building you see once you step out." As he spoke, he took out a brilliantly golden ’Death Exemption Token’???
Luo Qianqian was stunned looking at this ’Death Exemption Token’.
Diwu Yan handed it to her, "This is your entrance token for where you’re staying here. Almost forgot to give it to you. Don’t wander around too much, or you might be mistaken for a bad guy and get caught."
With that, he casually walked away.
Luo Qianqian held the token, looking at the large characters on it: Token.
It really is simple. If it weren’t made of gold, it would be even...
"Do we have to take it everywhere?" Qin Nuan was speechless, looking around to observe the room. It was a suite, with a connected living room, bathroom, and a separate area with a large wooden tub, obviously intended for a specific purpose.
"Good thing there’s a bathroom in the room." Qin Nuan pouted.
Luo Qianqian, however, walked out of the room, seriously examining the surroundings.
She had noticed when they arrived that it was a secluded small courtyard. But she didn’t know whether other rooms were occupied, or if she was alone.
After glancing around, she turned and lay back on the bed, only to spring up the next second, "My God, it’s so hard!"
"Right, speaking of which, weren’t we just in the car?" Qin Nuan frowned, puzzled.
"Did you think picking pretty flowers was that easy? Pretty flowers are all poisonous." Luo Qianqian spread her hands, full of helplessness.
Qin Nuan seemed to suddenly understand, looking at her own hands with disdain, "Will there be any residue? But why do I feel particularly spirited?"
"I also feel particularly spirited, all thanks to that big beauty." Luo Qianqian snorted, dripping with sarcasm.
Normally saying that would be appreciative, after all, the sight was a joy. But now it was sarcastic, beautiful people are always prickly.
"Truly stunning." Qin Nuan was full of admiration. "A face capable of toppling empires, I finally understand why some are called a calamity of beauty, and why phrases like ’fish sinking, geese dropping, moon hiding, and flowers shaming’ exist. Truly."
"I finally understand what it means to be flower-struck." Luo Qianqian was speechless, "He’s a guy, you have to get your facts straight."
"No, no, no, if I were a guy, looking at him, I would go dumbstruck too." Qin Nuan said earnestly.
Luo Qianqian was speechless, "He’s old enough to be your grandfather, why are you thinking that way..."
"He’s just so pleasing to the eyes. With this face, I could eat two bowls of rice." Qin Nuan said decisively, "That’s it, I have to become his absolute fan."
"Fourth Brother, come quickly, future Fourth Sister-in-Law is going to step out!!!" Luo Qianqian exclaimed dramatically, "It’s all my fault, blame me! Criticize me! It’s all my fault!"
As she spoke, she sat on the bed, kicked off her shoes, and started wailing loudly.
Half covering her ears, Qin Nuan said, "Act normal." With such a loud voice, wasn’t she afraid someone might actually come?
As she spoke, she looked around anxiously, only to see an elderly lady standing at the door, in a daze.
"Qhianqhian, someone’s here, act normal," Qin Nuan said quietly, quickly pulling Luo Qianqian from the bed.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqian immediately calmed down, then calmly stood up, put on her shoes, walked to the door, smiled, and in a gentle voice looked at the elderly woman, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
The screeching howler from just moments ago seemed to be a completely different person, yet it was undeniably the same.
"Luo Qianqian?" The elderly woman raised an eyebrow.
Luo Qianqian nodded slightly.
The elderly woman’s voice wasn’t exactly gentle, but it wasn’t hostile, which eased Luo Qianqian’s mind a bit.
"I am Diwu Lan." The elderly woman introduced herself.
Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment before hurriedly inviting her in, "What can I do for you?" She was tense, after all, she was the family of that big beauty.
The point is, that big beauty was protecting her, how could she dare be neglectful?
Diwu Lan gently shook her head, "I’m in charge here. If you need anything, just let me know. Anything specific you’d like for dinner?"
"We’re not really picky eaters, whatever you’d usually have is fine," Luo Qianqian replied softly, shaking her head.
In a place like this, you can’t eat something they’re not skilled at making, or else you might end up with...
Hehehe, that would be hilarious.
So it’s best to go with what they have arranged.
"Alright, we’ll come by at seven and eight tonight to add and change bathwater for you, feel free." After saying that, she turned and left, her expression unchanged.
Luo Qianqian watched her leave, then turned around brimming with curiosity, "Hey? Is she really from the same family as that enchanting figure? There’s no resemblance at all."
"My eldest and second brothers don’t have any similar features either," Qin Nuan remarked calmly.
"Who says? Their noses and eyebrows really resemble each other. Though their mouths differ, their dimples are the same." Luo Qianqian replied earnestly, "Little dimples, long lashes, irresistibly charming..." She cheerfully sang on.
